Review in Translational research : the journal of laboratory and clinical medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04361097 (Fecal Microbiota Transplantation as a Therapeutic Strategy in the Progression of Chronic Kidney Disease), which is not on this map. Cited by 142 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled it.

1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Abstract

More than 100 trillion microbial cells that reside in the human gut heavily influence nutrition, metabolism, and immune function of the host. Gut dysbiosis, seen commonly in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), results from qualitative and quantitative changes in host microbiome profile and disruption of gut barrier function. Alterations in gut microbiota and a myriad of host responses have been implicated in progression of CKD, increased cardiovascular risk, uremic toxicity, and inflammation. We present a discussion of dysbiosis, various uremic toxins produced from dysbiotic gut microbiome, and their roles in CKD progression and complications. We also review the gut microbiome in renal transplant, highlighting the role of commensal microbes in alteration of immune responses to transplantation, and conclude with therapeutic interventions that aim to restore intestinal dysbiosis.
